worea veil and was weeping bitterly.
The keepers were not particularly
struck with this, for Mary had been
wearing veil for several weeks, and
since Sharkey's last hope was gone she
had wept a good deal She walked
slowly, showing her ticket tn each
keeper and guard. There was a guard
at the stairway and the tier and two
others ON the floor below; fourth stood
at the door of the old prison, a
fifth at the door of the corridor through
which exit is made, a sixth at the end
of the corridor, and two others at the
gateway and desk; and finally there was
the turnkey at the street gate. Past all
these Mary went-biding her face in her
trembling hands and crying as If her
heart would break. One of the keepers
was so deeply affected that he put his
arm tenderly about her shoulders and
said: I'm awful sorry for you, Nary
She answered.: ''God bless you, SIR

could and then left the wretch. She

a happy home. She married and lives
in this city now.

PfttSburg Chronicle
Two of our most prominent citizens
were standing at a hotel door ON Sun
day morning, not long ago, when one,
whom we call Mr.. A, said:
Il believe more colored people than
white pass by here.
''Oh, no, certainly not, replied Mr..
Il.
well, am willing to make a bet on
it. Keep a record for half an hour and
see. If the white people are in excess
I'll give you dollar apiece for as many
as there are in the majority. If the col
Ored people are in excess you pay me a
dollar i'm the same way"
''All right" said MIR. b. and the count
commenced.
The half hour had nearly elapsed, with
a record of three or four Caucasians
ahead, when a band was heard coming
up the street.
What's that" said the counters, as
they gazed at the advancing throng.
1t was the funeral of a cOlored man
who had been a member of several secret
societies. and all his brethren had turned
out to assist in the obsequies.
MIR. Ii. makes no more such bets now.

The Great Service OF Forests.

Prof. Shaler has an article in the Nav
number of Scribner's Magazine in which
he shows what the functions of forests
are in the earth economy, and setting
forth many of their uses and benefits of
which many people know little or moth
ing. Among others, there is the service
of the forest protecting the soil, on which
the life that is on the earth wholly de-
ponds. The soil once taken away, and
il will take long ages to replace it with
another. All animal life would newt
ably disappeared during the immense
interval, and so would all vegetable life.
And without this soil of the earth, right
ly called'the harvest of ages, the oceans
wonld no longer keep up their vigorous
of their needed store of mineral matters.
The machinery is complicated and deli
cate by which organic life is maintained
ON the earth. For example; there is but

BEAR STORY OFTHECATSKILLS.
Bruin's Appetite for Mutton Causes Him
tn Lose His Hide.
New York Herald.


New York Herald.
CATsKILL., N. ", June IA large
bear was killed to-day near Westkill,
Greene County. Westkill is pretty lit
tie village situated near the famous notch
in the Westkill Mountain. The Notch is
a cleft in the mountains, leaving Just
room for a roadway and a stream of wa
ter. The mountains tower up on either
side at a very steep incline over a thou
sand feet. 1t is a cool place, for ice can
be found close to the roadway the year
around. For that reason, perhaps, and
because of the Impenetrability of its
vines and underground, bears are seen
frequently climbing the rough sides of
the mountains.
Lewis Durham, who lives at Westkill
on looking over his sheep recently,
found that several of. them had been
killed and partly eaten up. Durham is
an old bear hunter. Many a time he has
followed the trail of bruin. and he is
thoroughly acquainted with his habits.
He came to the conclusion that a big
bear had been eating his mutton. He
set large steel trap, with heavy clog
and chain attached to it, hunter fashion,
up in the field.
When he went to look for the trap this
morning the bear had been there and
had taken the trap away with him. The
trail was easily followed. and Durham,
with dog and gun. soon caught up to
HIM. 1t was a very large bear and ready
for a fight, Notwithstanding lie was en-
numbered with trap. As the bear had
fine coat of fur Durham decided not
to shoot him i'm any portion of the body
except the head, so as not to injure the
skin. Edging around until he got i'm
front of him-the animal i'm the mean
while growing and slapping the trap
with great force on the rocks-Dunham
fired. The ball went through the head
of the bear, and another shot following
finished the job.
Bruin was found to measure seven
feet from the end of his tail to the tip of
his nose. 1t is the largest bear ever
killed in the Catskill Mountains in many
years.

oUEEN VICTORIA,

It has always been customary to cele-
brate the birth and coronation days of kings
and queens. Sometimes this has been done
out of respect to a time honored custom;
sometimes because of the peoples fondness
for ceremony and stately professions, and
occasionally because they truly loved the
man or woman who ruled over them
On June - Victoria will have reigned rs
queen in England fifty years, or half a CEN
fury, an unusually long and peaceful reign for
any country. 1t is safe to assume that the
celebration of her fiftieth coronation day will
he on grand scale, and that representatives
from many countries will participate in it.

Kinds of Dances.
The sultana has military band They are
Georgians and Circassians One lady plays
the flute, another the horn and moon faced

Gildiz by name-meaning the star of the
harem-crouches pensively at the feet of q
blue eyed, dark haired girl of the Orient,
who could not sit down because she must saw
a monstrous double bass viol The double
bass is Chaldean. Her cheek is olive, her
eyes immense and the fringes of her eyelids
astounding. Being Of mountain growth, she
has wildness of temper and aspect which
nothing but the big double bass can tame.
They are dressed after the manner of musi-
clans. They wear tunic and pantaloons of
white woolen stuff, faced with blue, and little
shakos to match. They are quite martial in
their appearance, and perhaps they furnish
the hint for many of the fine displays upon
our melodramatic stage
How are they taught music2 Some of the
masters in the theatres in Constantinople are
called in to give lessons. While practicing
with her masters, the women use a strip of
muslin over the head and shoulders, not
always successful yelling of their charms
Not satisfied with the band without utiliz-
ing it, the s,lltana must have a comic dance,
then Turkish dance and pantomime. A
bright girl plays the young hero, who is a
Claude Memette, except that he is house
painter and not a gardener. There is a
heroine and porter who have heavy father,
| and harlequin and Columbine. To crown
| the whole, ballet is led by the Antelope
"a beautiful girl of that name. The panto-
mime is a rendition of European life, but the
ball which follows is more comical than the
pantomime. 1t is realistic. Our artist
assists them in its preparation. One of hei
instructions is, that if lady drops her hand
kerchief her partner should pick it up and re
store Il with bow. All the ladies of the
ball provide themselves with gay bandanas
and while dancing the mazurka the galop
